Recently want to access my remote ubuntu machine. So i enabled remote access on my ubuntu. Tried to connect to the remote ubuntu machine using Remote Desktop Viewer. It connected very slowly after quite some time. But i was not able to do anything. It was very very slow and it takes ages to do something on the remote machine. The terminal server client works great connecting to windows machines and it is blazing fast. Why remote desktop to ubuntu is very very slow? Is there a way to fix this?

If you have any of the special "cube" effects enabled in your UI, VNC may not work properly.  In my case it didn't work at all.  Try connecting after you disable all the effects and reboot the machine.
 
Also, you must have a Gnome session going in order to access VNC.  What this means is you have to log in on the actual computer and start a desktop session in order to connect via VNC.  Hope this helps somewhat...

For faster remote desktop connection in ubuntu - install openssh, freenx server and nxclient. The speed will be amazing fast.
 
Install openssh
 
sudo apt-get install ssh
 
Installing freenx server
 
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freenx-team
sudo apt-get update
sudo aptitude install freenx
sudo /usr/lib/nx/nxsetup --install
 
Installing NXClient
 
Visit http://www.nomachine.com/download-client-linux.php and download the nxclient for your platform.
For ubuntu you can download the .deb file, right click on it and install.
 
Now remote desktop to this machine and enjoy!!

  • What program do you install where? Which is for the server and which is for the client? And what do I have to run to connect after that? I tried OpenSSH/FreeNX on the server and then NXClient on the client, ran the NXClient under Applications > Internet > NX Client for Linux > (ran all the programs) and can't seem to get it to work, even though I have Vino working..

  • Not sure, it worked on 9.10 i guess. Did you ran the other commands ignoring that error message and check if the freenx server is installed.

    Connect with Terminal Server Client it is much faster... For using terminal server install vnc server to remote computer and install vnc client in your computer.
